Abstract

Three resonances in

{}^{12}C

+

{}^{12}C

with

E_{c . m .} (J^{π})

of 8.85(

6^{+}

), 11.2(

8^{+}

), and 13.75(

10^{+}

) are reported. Together with earlier data, these resonances fit in a rotational band in

{}^{24}{Mg}

. A model based on the rotation-vibration coupling is proposed to account for these data.
